Well, if you look at what you are actually getting, is it truly worth the price they are asking?

The bags themselves look to be a fair price but the full rack system was listed in the $2600+ price range was it not?

That was what they had listed for the Chevy Tahoe Surburban package. I realize you are paying them for all their engineering development work, but I did not see that kind of value there for the average guy.

If you were doing mountain rescue on a govt budget, yeah. Just fixing up a typical DI, it appears that could exceed the actaul value of the vehicle.

It all depends upon your needs and your available budget.

One place I worked at built the actual bumpers for the Bradley Fighting machine and they weren't that much. There's only a few hundred dollars worth of materials there.

If they really rock your world, go for it, by all means.

plus you do not need to buy their bags. from the looks of it you can add any "molle" style bag that would fit. I bet running those straps though is a pain in the ***.

Did you see the guy (sorry I forgot who) who did the speaker box in that jumpseat spot? looked good. also not hard to fabricate.

Yes I am a big redneck as the picture shows. I like Willie Nelson. I still think my console is the coolest one I have seen on here yet.

And I do feel $100 is pretty high for a small piece of mounting gear as they had, but their bags were pretty cool. Any good metals shop could mass produce what they showed and do it for less than a hundred bucks.

As you can tell their markets is basically govt, not individuals with older Rovers.

This is what I was referring to:

Base unit (includes MPAC Racks, no top shelf or drawers) MSRP $1595.00

Top Shelf MSRP $180.00
Drawer Trays MSRP $350.00 per pair Discontinued

Drawers with 500 lb locking sliders (includes combination locks) MSRP $700

Combo Price:

Base unit, top shelf, 2 drawers, 4 Large Stat packs, 4 Medium STAT Packs

MSRP $2719.00
Combo price $2399.00 (save $500!!)

I want one!

I wonder how much the whole sheet cost, 70 bucks for two small cut to fit pieces seems a bit high.
